COVER REIEQVER.

Application filed. March 16, 1922. Serial 1W0. 544,340.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED J. PARKER, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada,residing at Moose J aw, in the county of Moose Jaw and Province ofSaskatchewan, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Cover Removers, of which the cover of a sealer and when pressure is.

exerted on the same, the device will grip the said cover firmly tofacilitate the removing or tightening operation.

The nature and advantages of my inven tion will be more readilyunderstood after a perusal of the following description, the descriptivematter being supplemented by the accompanying schematic illustrations,wherein: T

Figure 1 is an interior perspective view of the device constructed inaccordance with my present invention.

Fig. 2 is an exterior perspective view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section as it would appear when taken online 33 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the device inclosed position.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals of referencedesignate corresponding parts, the numerals 5 and j 6 designatesemi-circular plates which are hingedly connected as at 7, the sprin 8forming the hinge pin and the termina s 9 and 10 are connected to thesemicircular plates 5 and 6, which terminals serve as a tensioning meansto keep the said plates in the position shown. The numerals 11 and 12indicate wall-s substantial with the plates 5 and 6 and have ridges 13,14, 15 and 16 disposed on the extremities thereof. The interior of thewalls 11 and 12 are lined with a suitable composition.

In operation when it is desired to remove a cover from or tighten thesame on a sealer, the device is positioned over the sealer and thesections thereof tension together until the composition lining asdescribed grips the surface of the cover. The ridges 13, 14, 15 and 16provide means whereby the hands of the operator may rigidly grip thedevice, thus obviating slipping. It is apparent that with the use ofthis de vice, covers may be attached to or removed from sealers moreexpediently and with less having ridges to provide gripping meansadjacent the abutting edgesof said walls. In testimony whereof, I aflixmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

- FRED J. PARKER.
